Bure: Once again, the ANDRA tries to force its way through

This morning, the ANDRA tried once again to get into the Lejuc forest to clean up what is left of the stone wall they built, a construction that was judged illegal on the 1st of August. We are declaring the legitimacy of our opposition to what is just a communication operation.

At 9.10 am this morning, a mechanical digger, two trucks with trailers, a bailiff, some watchmen and the communication service of the ANDRA came to “clean the forest”. Why didn’t they do it this summer, when the forest wasn’t occupied? The fact that they’re coming just a few days before the “rehabilitation’s” legal due date shows us that this is just a media circus to try and make up for their serious mistakes.

They came last Monday with trucks full of rubble, which means they’re not just trying to clean the forest, but to keep working on it for the CIGEO project. The cleaning is just a necessary step for them to be able to keep on destroying the forest.

They pretend doing everything in their power to keep these operations peaceful. We find it hard to believe after seeing E.Hance (head of public relations and executor of the ANDRA’s dirty work) driving his truck towards a militant last Monday or, this morning, pouring gasoline on a barricade that several people were defending with only their bodies. We will not give in to intimidation, nor threats.

We are fighting to preserve the forest, so that it can stay under ownership of Mandre-en-Barrois’s inhabitants. As the state prosecutor declared yesterday, the transfer to the ANDRA reeks of illegality. The audience tomorrow should confirm that the ANDRA has no place here.

We are fighting against the CIGEO project, in which the forest destruction is just a step.

We won’t let ourselves be atomized, and the Lejuc forest will stay to those that care about it!

Friends of the forest, enemies of the atom.
